In Their Wake (HxH x Fem Reader)
She doesn't remember where she came from - or if she even had a family at all.
All she knows is running, surviving, and never staying in one place long enough to be caught.
Her life is a blur of empty streets and forgotten faces, until a chance encounter sets her on a path she never expected. A path that leads to a brutal test - one that promises freedom, power, or destruction: the Hunter Exam.
She doesn't know what to expect. She's not ready for what's waiting.
And then she meets them:
The boy whose bright spirit seems impossible to ignore.
The boy with eyes like thunder, quiet but dangerous.
At first, they're just shadows on the edge of her world - strangers she neither trusts nor understands.
But in their wake, she begins to change.
Surrounded by danger and desire, she learns that some bonds cut deeper than scars - and that the past isn't always behind you.
She's not sure if she's ready to choose.
But she can't escape the pull forever.
